Lin Zhaohai felt very upset after hearing this. Although people on both sides were wrong, it was obvious that Lieutenant Takeda was more at fault. The other party was biased towards their own people.
Lin Zhaohai closed his eyes to hide the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Lieutenant Takeda glared at him, then left with his men with a look of gloating satisfaction.
After watching the people leave, Lin Zhaohai angrily kicked over the stool next to him and waved to one of his men to come over, "Are there any injured guests at the banquet?"
After the gunshots rang out, these people were so frightened that they covered their heads and ran around, no longer having the demeanor of gentlemen and ladies. At this time, their hair and faces were disheveled and they kept clamoring to get out.
The subordinate trembled a little, "Director, several businessmen died, and Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Economic Affairs was also killed."
"What? Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is dead!" Something big has happened, something really big has happened!
Lin Zhaohai was furious and didn't know where to vent his anger. If a few businessmen had died, it would have been fine. But Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Economic Affairs was different. He was trained by the Japanese and was highly valued by them. The one who trained him was none other than the old man Tanaka. This was simply adding insult to injury.
After taking a breath, Lin Zhaohai asked again: "Where's Yu Fengda? Is he okay?"
"It's okay, Director. Those guys shot at his upper body, but the bullets were all blocked by the iron plate. He just has some internal injuries."
"It's good that they're not dead. Find out who was at the party and let them go if they're alright."
"yes!"
An Jingzhi's home was very close to the Jinxiao Hotel, and when the gunshots and explosions occurred there, the two of them heard them clearly at home.
After the gunfire stopped, the two men lay down behind a crack in the curtains and used binoculars to observe the situation on the opposite side.
All I could see was people constantly coming in and out, carrying a few corpses, but I couldn't see anything specific.
An Yulan didn't sleep all night. Now there is martial law outside and she can't go out.
The next morning she took a rickshaw to school. Sitting in the rickshaw, she heard the newspaper boy outside calling out:
"Newspapers for sale, newspapers for sale! Last night, there was an explosion at the Jinxiao Hotel, and three underground members were killed on the spot!"
After An Yulan controlled her emotions, she said to the newspaper boy, "Give me a newspaper."
I wanted to rush to the school to ask Teacher Yue for information, but I didn't expect to see what happened that day directly in the newspaper.
An Yulan was filled with sorrow as she had lost three more comrades.
Their mission failed.
…
An Jingzhi only had the last two classes in the morning, so he left home later than An Yulan. He was packing up his things at home when he heard a knock on the door.
After thinking for a long time, I still couldn't figure out who it was. I opened the door cautiously with a pistol behind my back and found that it was an acquaintance.
He bought the pistol in the underground market. These days, you can buy anything as long as you have money.
"Director Lin? How come you have time to come to see me?"
Lin Zhaohai had a smile on his face, holding a gift in his hand. Behind him stood the man who had gone to the school to look for An Jingzhi earlier. "Mr. An, this is an apology. My subordinate was ignorant and ran to the school gate to look for you without permission. Today I brought him here. You have the final say on how to deal with him."
An Jingzhi let the man in and looked at him with interest. After a while, he smiled and said to Lin Zhaohai, "I said I want to kill him. Director Lin, are you willing to do it?"
A hint of fear flashed in the man's eyes.
Lin Zhaohai's expression remained unchanged, still smiling. "I said, Mr. An has the final say on how to deal with this."
An Jingzhi wasn't sure what the other person was up to. He looked at him and lowered his head to adjust his cuffs. "No thanks. Is this the only reason Director Lin came here today? If so, I'm leaving now."
"Not really. There's one more thing I'd like to ask Mr. An for. You live so close, you must have heard the explosion yesterday, right?"
An Jingzhi nodded without saying anything.
Lin Zhaohai told An Jingzhi what happened yesterday, emphasizing that Second Lieutenant Takeda was the main person responsible for this incident.
"I came to visit Mr. An this time to ask you to help me explain to General Tanaka."
As he spoke, he opened the box under his hand, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of An Jingzhi, "Lin will definitely repay you later. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
After much thought, Lin Zhaohai could only ask An Jingzhi to plead for him. As the director of the Secret Service, he could not bear the crime of killing Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
According to Fujita Hisashi, the other party would definitely put all the blame on him in front of Tanaka. By then, Takeda would be their own man, and at most he would be given a light punishment, and he would become the scapegoat.
The other islanders would definitely only side with people from their own country. He had known this from the beginning and had completely given up hope yesterday. Among the Chinese, the only one who could talk to Old Man Tanaka and whom he knew well was An Jingzhi.
That's why he called that subordinate over early in the morning and threatened him with the lives of his family. No matter how An Jingzhi wanted to punish him, Lin Zhaohai wouldn't blink an eye. Compared with his own life and future, what was a confidant?
Money spent can be earned back.
If An Jingzhi could help mediate and speak some good words to Tanaka Laogui, even if he couldn't absolve him of his guilt, he wouldn't be forced to shoulder all the responsibility. At least he could maintain his current position.
An Jingzhi squinted his glasses because of the golden light in front of him. There were at least ten small yellow croakers here.
"Director Lin is really generous." It seems that he eats a lot on a daily basis.
"This is just a small part. If Mr. An can protect me once, I will definitely give you a generous gift. I will definitely not let you down."
